I'm sorry, randy, but I have. In fact, I've tried, in vain, to find anything on my ancestors at that site. I don't know why. I have searched using a variety of parameters, but to no avail. Unless I'm doing something wrong, I must conclude that my little-recorded family is just too obscure. Thanks for the comment, sir. Sincerely, Michael J.

I could have answered the same way, Michael. What's interesting is that, while I can get nothing from FamilySearch over the internet, I did get something when I went to the LDS Church in my area. I got a printout of one of my family lines that went all the way back to the 1400's. Yet when I put in the same name here at home, nothing comes up. I have gotten so frustrated with the FamilySearch site I've decided never to use it again! "Michael J. Miller" wrote: > I'm sorry, randy, but I have.
